Betting on horse racing is a popular pastime here and this museum shows the sport in all its glory. The eight galleries track horse racing in Hong Kong from its beginnings in the 1840s to the high-tech, high-profit enterprise that it is today. All racetrack profits, are retained by the government and dispersed among local charities. Trainers, jockeys, winning horses, even racecourse construction, all this and more is covered here. The mini-cinema provides a sense of the action should you miss an actual race. Admission cost is typically low, however subject to change.
